Great technique!! I would like to know that can the glycerin bath be sufficient and can we avoid investing in a curing unit with nitrogen gas for final curing as those are way too expensive. Thanks again..
Hey there! Love the candy coating technique. I was wanting to ask if you’ve tried Nightguard flex by sprintray and why you guys prefer keysplint soft? (aside from the cost difference of course) Can either resin be heated up and used like a thermoplastic nightguard would be for delivery?
Heya! Nightguard Flex is also a great splint resin. It is quite similar to KeySplint Soft, which is widely considered the gold standard in splint printing. Both of them become more malleable when heated. I don't heat them up before delivery. I know some people like to, but just be cautious if you overdo it, it can ruin the splint. Hope that helps :)
Ive used this method a few times but with the last one I had to adjust occlusion and the candy coating layer just began peeling off after I started adjusting. What did I do wrong?
Unfortunately this can be a downside to candy coating as it is a layer added to the surface. Try minimise the thickness of it and make sure you cure it well
hey, I use splint hard clear from keyprint with the sprintray machines. Unfortunately my splints turn yellow after derm light curing, do you know the problem? The exposure times are stored in the cure machine, so I don't know where the error is.
Usually browning/yellowing is due to over-curing. We have printed keysplint soft extensively with sprintray without this issue. What cure machine are you using? I would double check the print settings and see if there are any updates.
@@michaelheinen4676 I would try that. Not sure why the hard clear is yellowing. I would 100% bring it up with your local sprintray support/distributor and see what they think. If you are using their workflow, I would assume its all dialed in not to yellow.
Hi and first of all thank you for sharing this tutorial! I do have some questions though. Have I understood right, that the Glycerin is not optional? I've tried this method once but didn't have glycerin and the top layer quickly lost its shine. Another thing I noticed was, that in areas which had just a little bit too much material, some bubbles formed. Is there anything I can do to effectively prevent this from happening? Thank you!
Yes I would suggest ALWAYS using glycerin or managing oxygen inhibition layer in some way such as with nitrogen gas curing units. Regarding bubbles - keep a close when you are putting it on to not introduce any and like you noticed ot make sure it is a thin even layer.
to be honest i know you never touch the inner part with resin since you can't control the amount you will add. also glycerine is used from the very begin since oxygen inhibition starts even before putting it in the oven
Yes that is traditional way of processing it in that you don’t want to touch the intaglio. When done carefully and cleaning the inside, we have had no issue with fits Regarding glycerine a first initial cure is done just so the applied liquid resin is cured rather than being put directly into the glycerin as a liquid state
Ready to try this method? Let us know!
😅 imitation is the best form of flattery
Great technique no doubt! Next you should do reviews 🤝

Thanks! It is the next best option.

Hi so while removing the supports is the guard cured at this step or is it only alcohol washed and dry?
thank you
great video
Some resins need to be cured before, some don't. In this case, the supports are easily peeled before full cure.
Thanks for the kind words :)

I use the printer Sprintray Pro S 95, Pro Wash S and Pro Cure 2. All updates are current. Unfortunately I haven't tested keysplint soft yet.

@@InstituteofDigitalDentistry Thank you very much!

What is the difference from purple resin?
Which purple resin? Key splint soft?
May i know what kind of glycerin is used?
Food grade bought from a pharmacy
to be honest i know you never touch the inner part with resin since you can't control the amount you will add.
